Mr. Anil Kumar Singh No. 1 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 03-02-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Khusrupur P.S. Case no.222 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under sections 302, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Allegedly, the daughter of the informant was married with the son of the petitioner. On 09.06.2022 the informant got information of murder of his daughter. The allegation against the petitioner is that he alongwith his family members killed the daughter of the informant.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and have committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.1648 of 2023(2) dt.03-02-2023 2/2 levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. The petitioner is the father-in-law of the deceased. There is no eye witness in the present case, the petitioner has been made accused in the present case only on the basis of suspicion. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
